Why not ? I have over 200 machines which sync to a couple of US atomic clocks
every 64 seconds ...
You don't mention whether you are internet connected.
If you are, my preferred package is NTP. Ask your ISP for their provision.
If you are MBone connected, you can listen to a range of clocks around the
world. You won't get high accuracy, but should keep you within a second !
You can spend a few hundred quid and get a GPS receiver ...
